He won't get traded
He should be traded.
One good game every 3 years doesn't cut it, unless as some suggest you're T Cloke
Thought he's played more okay games than bad, just no real good games
Some very short memories here. Last year at the start when Rance and Lids were out both Griff and Astbury were the shinning lights as improvers. In fact there was talk that Astbury would be leading the B and f. Just getting back to that now. Keep for me.
Modify . I ment 2014 not last year.
yes we all recall rnds 1-10 in 2014, was very good no denying that. But why has it taken until rnd 15 2016 to finally show that type of form again? and you cant use injury as an excuse, has had a good run at it the last 12 months playing plenty of vfl/afl games. For mine would need to play like this for the remiander of the season to survive the chop. Another injury and cut - cant have players taking 18 months to find their feet again, thats just crazy
Cause the moron coach dropped him all the time for his mate Chaplin year after year ...
Astbury has had some bad luck with injury and aggressive aquatic creatures yet you can hardly say he's been developed well. Like elton and McBean the long term planning is a shambles. Astbury getting towards his prime and we still don't know what we got , flirting to give him to leppa
... Almost 2017 and we are still looking for a full back , ruck , full forward let alone smalls
I Spose it's the fans fault - after all tey demanded a list full of list blockers that would scrap into 8th rather than build or a flag which could have taken somewhat longer.
Given the lack of quality an quantity KPP on the list (I reckon astbury good forward option)- talk of getting rid of him is bizarre IMO
